Lyrics

Afflicted Past

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold

Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself

How can you face the world?

When you can't face the mirror

How can you leave your past?

With blood on your hands?

Can you run away all your life?

Can you escape your punishment?

How many times can you start it all again? And how many lies will it take to cover your tracks?

How can you face the world?

When you can't face the mirror

How can you leave your past?

With blood on your hands?

Can you run away all your life?

Can you escape your punishment?

No matter how far you go

Those days are right behind

The facade of your perfect life

Cannot hide your afflicted past

There is no escape

No escape

No escape

No escape

No escape
